Cowgirl just fiddlin around

“I came out of my mom dancing,” she says with a grin. “And Mom and Dad always had a love of music.”

She’s known around these parts for her fast fiddle music, lending an old-fashioned atmosphere to parades, parties and wagon encampments at the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center.

But there’s no need to wait for a special event — Gordon plays at 7 p.m. every Friday at the Geiser Grand Hotel and every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at York’s (except this Saturday — she’s going to the St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Heppner).
